funny story, someone sent what I can onlybassume was a nasty message to me and my business via Facebook messenger but messenger deleted the comment before I could read it. I'm kind of sad that I didn't get the opportunity to read what Mr or Mrs Facebook user anonymously sent to me so I could properly respond.
I'm very sorry that I didn't get to read it..... so dear anonymous Facebook user please feel free to contact me and let me know what it was so I can properly address whatever issue it is that you have with me or my company.
thanks !!

so ive been trying to build up a complete diagnostic cart for my shop to better serve my customers vehicles needs as well as enhance my abilities to produce viable diagnostic information reports for the insurance companies to ensure that they can justify payments to the shop when the supplements are reviewed .
well since i havent been able to actually do any heavy work on vehicles since my accident a few weeks ago i decided to try and finish up a project that has been inbthe works for almost a year.
special thanks to my man Ken Donahue for figuring out the networking bugs and the screen mirroring to make the system actually work ! now i can use all of the diagnostic tools that i have for the shop together to perform the best diagnostics possible for my customers and ensure the safest and most reliable repairs!!
also special thanks to my friend and local Matco tools distributor Dave Clark for not only selling me the maximus 3.0 last year but for sourcing this awesome diagnostic cart and for always keeping me updated on new options to enhance the diagnostic experience and capabilities of my shops scanning solutions!!!

I love when a customer posts about the work I have done for them.
My good friend, Randal Johnson , whom I have admired in this industry recommended me to his brother Eddie Recently for repairs on his Chevy Impala which was t b***d in the side. after a few parts delays and some issues on another vehicle which tied up my frame machine I was able to get his vehicle up and pulled to near perfection so that I could deliver the repair that I wanted to give him and his Wife.....
his post on Facebook was this
"
Just got our auto back from the body shop for some body damage .This shop did some of the BEST work that I have ever seen . The shop is --- WEST SALEM COLLISION . We had to wait for a bit , but it was worth the wait "
I found it after he and Judy had left me a cake at my office over lunch.
thank you so very much for the cake and more so for trusting West salem collision and frame to repair your vehicle correctly!!
when people love their repairs and are happy it makes every bit of struggle worth it !

Candidate must be reliable , outgoing and trustworthy.
I am looking for a strong "C" Tech or "B" tech that is willing to learn the newer repair techniques required to repair today's vehicles. We do not do restoration here at West Salem Collision and Frame we emphasize on quality collision repairs using current repair standards , procedures and advanced repair equipment to make sure the customers vehicle is restored to its pre accident condition.
Must be able to block sand, use a da sander correctly and remove and install parts effectively.
The repair process here is simple, we dismantle the vehicle and and bag/label all bolts and fasteners for each component removed.
Put all usable parts together on a parts rack or in the vehicles trunk and all unuseable/damaged parts in a separate pile to identify for estimating purposes.
Keep your area clean and assist me with repairs to keep the shop flow going smoothly.
Must be open to learning g new repair techniques and open to constructive criticism.
I have zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol at the workplace and I make that known up front .
If you feel you are interested in taking your skillet to the next level as well as being part of a growing business feel free to contact me and we can sit down and discuss the job opening and see if there would be a good fit .
